A local infrastructure charity has scrapped the post of the chief executive following the resignation of the post holder to “sustain stability”.
In a statement on its website trustees for Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services said that following Tony Okotie’s resignation the charity had restructured its management and two senior members of staff will share the responsibility.
Trustees said: “The trustees of LCVS are regretfully announcing that we have accepted the resignation of our Chief Executive, Tony Okotie. Tony has worked hard for the organisation and we would like to pay tribute to his leadership over the past three years as well as wishing him well for the future.
“Graham Wright, director of finance and resources, and Colin Heaney, director of development and programmes, are taking on a joint leadership role for the organisation on a permanent basis, supported by the current senior management team.
“This management structure reflects the trustees’ aim to sustain stability within LCVS, and ensure continuity in our partnership working. It is designed to provide a strong collaborative basis for the future development of the organisation’s role and its response to the evolving needs of the wider voluntary and community sector.
LCVS’s income has fallen from £5.7m in the financial year to March 2011 to £3.7m in the financial year to March 2015.
